In February 2020, Postmedia reported Magliocca had spent two to three times the amount of money as other Calgary city councillors during a 2019 business trip to Quebec City. The trip was to attend the Federation of Canadian Municipality conference and the 10 participants (9 councillors and Mayor Nenshi) spent a collective $30,000 with most spending around $3,200. Councillor Magliocca spent $6,400 during the trip, including $1,800 in drinks and meals over the 5-day trip. [1]

In response to the story breaking, the city of Calgary hired PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to conduct a forensic audit of Magliocca's expenses. The report was made public in July 2019. Detailed in the report are inappropriate expense claims totalling over $5,600 including flight upgrades and hosted events with attendance lists that were disputed by the listed attendees as false.[2]

The city council voted to turn the report over to the Calgary police in July 2019 and on October 8, 2021, Magliocca was charged with one count of fraud under $5,000 and one count of breach of trust.
